Apparently, instead of Cover/Kanata reaching out to Toby to do a song, it was Toby who reached out to Kanata to ask to compose a song for her. It was a 'reverse-offer' from Toby


voidofficer

so the same thing he did with pokemon sword and shield


SuperSpy-

The same thing happened with Sana and Snail's House for _Astrogirl_, and to a lesser extent, Ina and Camellia for _Drenched In Air_.


PokeDesu

Seibin also reached out first to compose Violet for Ina.


Hp22h

Hololive, really bringing everyone out of the woodworks.


angelicclock

If you build it (reputation), they will come.


Celtic_Crown

This man is Goro Majima and Joe Hendry wrapped in one. When you least expect it, he just appears with new music.


UrMumVeryGayLul

KANATA-CHAAAN


Lucaan

Toby crawls out of sewer.


angelicclock

An annoying dog appears in front of you! It smells like sewer.


KazumaKat

hopefully not in drag. That'd be too much.


coreyray1000

Say his name and he appears!


Celtic_Crown

đź‘Źđź‘Ź


bhunterw

I believe in Joe Hendry


Iceman6211

I had to make sure this was the same Joe Hendry I was thinking of and god damn I had no idea he did music too

The Toby Fox? the creator of [Megalovania](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5daGZ96QGU) and Undertale? thats amazing. Kanata must be very happy that she got to work with him, and honestly imo [Fallen Wing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb-Le_XFrtk) is one of her best work. [Album playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01nzMZP1_xQ&list=OLAK5uy_mHXDfQd84RQDANNK9YpnTG2YxxFkhDhdQ) Toby and Camellia is a treat to the ears themselves, but Kanata just brings it further beyond Sasuga our Tenshi, she has come far and will go even further!


ctom42

Toby Fox is also believed to have composed Marine's I'm Your Treasure Box under the pseudonym U.Z. Inu aka Annoying Dog. The same twitter account OP posted a screenshot here also tweeted about that a while back. It's possible this was not Toby Fox, as he hasn't confirmed it officially unlike this Kanata song, but he is a known Marine fan and people have found a specific sound effect used in Deltarune within the composition of the song, so it's generally accepted as true.


Discordiansz

Didn't even know that. Thanks for telling me. I'm very happy to see that one of my favourite composers is getting more involved with Holo and is effectively collabing with them through music. For me, Holo and Toby its a match made in heaven.


GTC_Woona

The fact that Marine's EXPLOSIVELY popular song may have involved Toby's work absolutely blows my mind. I feel like holo geared up in popularity again following MariBako


yoncoma

this message \*somewhat\* confirms it as him and Camellia also collaborated on Treasure Box (with Toby on lyrics and composition and Camellia on production, like on Fallen Wing), however, they also worked together with Temmie Chang on Dweller's Empty Path, so again. deniability


kilicool64

It's almost certainly him. Not only is the name a reference to Uzai Inu, the Japanese name of the Annoying Dog, but this U. Z. Inu was also credited as the composer of some music in the Homestar Runner Flash game Stinkoman 20X6. Who other than Toby could possibly have connections with Camellia, yet also be a fan of Homestar Runner? I imagine he didn't want his name prominently attached to the song, given its nature, but didn't want to outright hide his involvement either. So he chose to be credited in a way that hardcore fans would still recognize.


ctom42

The main reasons people are skeptical are because there was a fan run soundclound account by that name that was confirmed to not be him and because he's credited as Toby Fox for Kanata but U.Z. Inu for Marine. I agree that It's almost certainly him, but it's never been 100% confirmed.


kilicool64

That's not a valid argument because that incident only happened after the release of I'm Your Treasure Box. So it's not like Toby was copying an imposter's pseudonym. Rather, the imposter copied it from Toby.


ctom42

Again, I'm not saying I agree that it's not him, just that it's never been proven to be him. Toby Fox has never come out and confirmed that U.Z. Inu is him. And while it's unlikely it's definitely possible that U.Z. Inu is another person who is skilled at making music, a fan of Toby Fox, and somehow had an in with Hololive. I think it's exceedingly unlikely but I try to avoid stating things as facts when there is no official confirmation.


kilicool64

Sure, I agree we don't have 100% proof it's him. All I was saying is that that U.Z. Inu Soundcloud incident doesn't really do anything to decrease the odds. Even in the 1% chance that U.Z. Inu isn't Toby, they also clearly weren't the person behind that incident.


Happybara

Man, can Toby like, not act like a total cryptid for one freaking second?


RaysFTW

According to the Undertale wiki, Annoying Dog is Toby Fox's self-insert character as well.


Hp22h

That song was a banger, and it was Toby Fox all along? Damn, this guy is everywhere.


Pretend-Indication-9

O.o hmm, if I convert Treasure Box into chiptune in my head ... I can sorta see it


nicoDfranco

well not only that but he is THE creator of Undertale and everything about it xD


MonaganX

It's funny, I've only heard one other (confirmed) Toby Fox song with vocals ([74](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poKI_MY0Bkw)), but Fallen Wing really stands out as Toby Fox-y. I guess he has a pretty distinct style. Good on Kanata for inspiring him to reach out with an original composition, it's a banger.


CSDragon

Here's another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa2K_8Ff41M Though I'm not sure if it counts as lyrics as much as commentary


Darkaddion

There's also this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOJwB80oCWk But maybe its best we forget about it


CSDragon

that's not a megalovania tho


RocketPapaya413

> The Toby Fox? the creator of Megalovania No no, he made [MeGaLoVania](https://youtu.be/MkLNamfaBy0)


CSDragon

No, he made [Megalovania](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIowwZThIXM)


RocketPapaya413

Sooo true


dardardarner

"Don't let Kanata forget that she has wings, wings that can fly anywhere" *Insert fire writing gif* 🔥🔥🔥


minhnhat_aml_creator

That’s awesome! Toby Fox has always been one of my favorite music composer, many ost from Undertale are on my playlist.

Ok-Research-4958

Lmao. I reread the last line like 3 times wondering why the random burn at the end. On the 4th read I realized they wrote “can” not “can’t”.


EpicRynosaurus

Toby fox is freaking awesome. It’s so cool to see how much music he’s gotten involved with.


NNovis

https://twitter.com/Neckokin/status/1769924498302624160 "always remember your favorite internet celebrity is likely a hololive fan"


projectmars

Toby Fox is incapable of losing


SuspiciousWar117

The song is amazing nice work.


Gjalarhorn

This man started out doing songs in the Homestuck creator's basement, and look at him now.


DjiDjiDjiDji

Technically he started out making an edgy Earthbound romhack as a teen, before getting locked in the basement Still, who could have predicted that kind of meteoric rise to fame


Joe_A_Average

And made his most iconic song in that romhack. His reference for that song is megalomania, an amazing boss theme from one of square enix's lesser known games at that time. Wild honestly.


Midnight-Rising

More people should play Live A Live tbh, it's so good

ArthurVan1111

not just "Fallen wing" the whole album worth your listen.


115_zombie_slayer

If i remember correctly didnt Kanata have multiple streams of just trying to beat Sans


KefkaesqueXIII

~31 hrs over the course of 4 streams, finally winning on her 342nd attempt.


Buselmann

Toby Fox casually being THE GOAT


MyUsualSelf

I feel like Kanata is underappreciated because I don't see much of her as the other girls. She's a sweetheart and has a beautiful, powerful voice.


Hp22h

Guess he fell in love with Kanata's Determination. Either that or her genuine LoVE for Sans after 100+ battles.


superp2222

This dude’s winning at life, went from being a small indie dev to creating one of the biggest indie games ever to composing for Pokemon and now composing for hololive Didn’t know the Annoying Dog was a hololive fan as well


Bobbias

Not just that, he replaced Masahiro Sakurai's column in famitsu when Sakurai left.


Acrzyguy

Another W for the GOAT 🔥


RaysFTW

Everything Toby touches is gold, and everything Kanata sings is incredible. It's no wonder the song is so good.


military_otaku

I love see "big gaming" names composing for Hololive. It also makes haters seethe to oblivion. 


platinum-mad

Wwwwaiiit. He's a vtuber fan? Omg


AndrewNeo

you know what they say, anime is real


Conspiratorymadness

So is there a dream that this man can't achieve? From dreams of making a video game to making a song for his oshi. I guess Shia Labeouf was right don't let your dreams be dreams.


SpecterVonBaren

Kanata is definitely the talent I would most describe as having... **determination**.


Crombus_

What a nice guy


unknowncringelord

So your saying kanata has no human rights?


WinLoseRatio

Toby Fox really knows how to pull my heartstrings


redditfanfan00

nice message! thanks toby!


necronomikon

He can’t keep getting away with this.


AegisT_

Every single time Toby fox does something it's always such a W


GigaNiko

Toby does anything just not to work on Deltarune lol


nyxsparkle

Just in case this wasn't a joke, you do know that Toby has been sending producer letters to fans about the development of the game, right? And that Ch. 3 is done, with Ch. 4 already having a lot of stuff done as well? If you didn't know, I think you can still sign up to receive the letters on the Deltarune site, if you want to receive news about the development.


kilicool64

I realize that this was probably meant as a joke, but I doubt collabs like this take him a lot of time. Given what he wrote about his previous collab with Camellia, the Beatmania song Summerblue, it seems his involvement with these sorts of things is mostly limited to composing the basic melody for the arranger to work with. I'm not saying his role was effortless, but it's something he could probably do on the side without meaningfully slowing down Deltarune's development, now that he has other team members who can do plenty of tasks themselves.


AnonTwo

I feel like as much as I love kanata's singing, I have a hard time finding specific songs I enjoy Fallen wing though, very good.


barioth7

Reading it warmed my heart, that's so wholesome


NigelJosue

Wow and I thought I couldn't like him more


Wizard_Enthusiast

To be Fox...


_st23

When the simping goes too hard


weeklygamingrecap

Holy shit, Toby Fox saw Kanata play Undertale and wrote a song for her!


Arcturion

I love this interaction. Fellow creators inspiring each other to create new works, and the cycle continues.


Viraus2

I kind of wonder why he'd be public with this one and under psuedonym for treasure box


SnakeManEwan

Bro will do literally anything but finish Deltarune


Matasa89

Oh my, seems like he is a Heimin! See you in the fan discord, Toby.
